Sell Your VMC

How It Works

Here’s everything you need to know about our transparent and simple selling process.

1

Initial Assessment

To provide you with the most accurate quote for your used vertical machining center, we need to gather some key details.

  • Make
  • Model
  • Year
  • Serial number
  • X-Axis travel
  • Y-Axis travel
  • Z-Axis travel
  • Spindle RPM
  • Spindle taper
  • Does it have the following: Coolant thru spindle, 4th axis, 5th axis, chip conveyor?

If you’d like to learn more about the exact requirements for your machining center, or how we find buyers, please contact us.

2

Condition Photographs

High-quality photographs can help us find buyers for your machinery. We may request additional photographs of machine components that are particularly prone to wear and tear. Please visit our Help Center and consult our photo guidelines for selling used machinery to learn more.

3

Floor Requirements

Information about your floor requirements can help us build a better strategy when we sell your CNC vertical machining center. Can you keep the machine on your shop floor until it’s sold, or do you need to move it immediately? We can also set up a consignment arrangement if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions: Selling a VMC

How do I sell my VMC?

Send us the make, model, year, serial number, axis travels, spindle RPM and taper, and any options (coolant thru spindle, 4th/5th axis, chip conveyor), along with condition photos and your floor requirements. We'll put together an assessment and list it across our nationwide buyer network.

How much is my used VMC worth?

Value depends on condition, configuration, and current demand. Details like control package, options, spindle hours, and maintenance history all factor into an accurate quote.

Where can I sell a used VMC?

Revelation Machinery lists VMCs through a nationwide network, with direct listing, consignment, or industrial auction options depending on what fits your timeline. Fill out the form on this page or call/text 618-323-3920 to get started.

Can I sell my VMC while it's still in production?

Yes. Many sellers keep running the machine while we market it. We'll work around short inspection windows, a simple under-power demo, and a removal plan that lines up with your schedule.

Do I need to remove the machine before it sells?

No. It can stay on your floor until it sells, and we can set up a consignment arrangement if you'd rather not wait for a buyer before the machine moves.

Upgrade Your Vertical Machining Centers

Once we find a buyer for your CNC vertical machining center, why not replace your equipment with something even better? Vertical machining centers are slightly less expensive than horizontal machining centers, and Revelation Machinery carries all the leading brands.

Typically, smaller production shops will find these machines to be cost-effective. They have a simple setup and are easier to manage than HMCs. There are also advanced CNC capabilities with machining centers, which make them more efficient than the competition. Some advancements include spindle speeders, quick-change workholding devices, rotary indexes (which allow 4–5 axis work), angle heads, and tool-and-part probes.
